Whoopie Hamzy the "do nothing" republican should wake up these local yokel republican cry babies. The ole no it alls should have someting to say right T.J. Did the republicans tell the lackey Hamzy what to say ? C'mon guys you have all the answers.

Hamzy criticizers are showing their ignorance here. Hamzy is not a lackey in the CT GOP, he is much higher on the totem pole than that. He is smart, dedicated, and he is ALWAYS working for all of us.

Don't vote for Hamzy, and what will you get? Do you know her name? Do you know anything about this Mary Kay saleswoman who says she doesn't know what the word "grant" means? I do, and I'm sure we would ALL be embarassed if she were elected.

I'm sure none of us has memorized his accomplishments. But you can find a good deal of information at: www.housegop.ct.gov/members/hamzy.aspIt's easy to find his biography and pages listing work he has done on our behalf.

I hope the Democrat-controlled House will forget about political bickering long enough to listen to his suggestions about the state's deficit. They don't seem to care much about CT's financial situation.

We're not low life and low IQ like you . we never said he was dumb, just lazy. And so called smart people like you that are worthless don't even rate an IQ cause you like people as long as they are republicans even when you can't think of a thing he did. I guess smart people with JD that don't do anything are awesome at least in your eyes.

Hey 11:30 you phony ask Hamzy if he is smarter that the other R's . He'll tell you yes but they still tell him what to do . Just like you faceless fakes trying to convince the whole world should think like you. Thank god they don't and that proves they are smarter then you.

The phony holier than thous are at it again.They think that the educated are the only ones that should be considered for anything. Can you imagine these phony educators writing this trash ? I'll take a person who hasn't even gone to school over these self enowed jerks! "Go street smart" anytime!

Often people who are guilty of something unjustly accuse others of the same shortcoming. This talk of Hamzy "doing nothing" is an example. Why don't you turn over a new leaf and get to work, like you always promise at election time?

12:03 Why don't you "phonies" tell me who you are and I'll tell you who I am. And while you're thinking (if you can) tell us the one thing that the love of your life (Hamzy) has done? I know you can't . That's why I agree with the person who calls you a phony. It suits you well!

Bill worked hard to get Jen's law passed that allows for people to testify by remote link to avoid being murdered by their estranged former spouses. This was in response to what happened in Terryville a year or 2 ago. I just saw the his own Democratic peers voted him the most admired and respect legislature across the aisle in this months Connecticut Magazine.

What has Jacki Denski done? Name one thing, I named one of Bill's accomplishments.

I know you will say something utterly useless and just call everybody a "phony" whatever that is???

So I was right!! You would come back with something utterly useless and just call me a phony! I believe the defenition of a phony is would be some one trying be something they are not, right?? Kind of like wearing a toupe' when you are actually are bald. Just trying to get some direction on this word "phony" so I can better understand how useless your comments actually are.....

to you the phony 9:24 I'm not Tom but if it makes you feel good call me Tom. A phony is a person like you who doesn't have the courage to say anyting to anyones face. A coward who hides and snipes. You sir are one of them.

I think it is really hypocritical to be callng people a "phony" and accusing them of not saying things to people's faces, anonymously. Besides it has no validity to the question on hand. You ask what has Bill Hamzy done, I give an example and you fire back some useless comment while not even coming up with a Denski accomplishment.

I bet you will call me a "phony" again or say something along the lines of "well I am made of rubber and you glue what you says bounces off me and sticks to you." That was soooo fun to say in 3rd grade, too bad we are adults now. Why don't you try to be one and just anwser my question, what has Denski accomplished???

Still nothing from you about Denski and her accomplishments! Just the same old "phony" response from a person that really has no true intelligent response. I will ask again, name one thing Denski has done?

Try saying something besides calling me a name, but maybe that is the best you have on Denski. Your silence on her accomplishments is very telling to me and others on this blog. I think it might be because she has none!!!!

Hmmm let me see !!!! 10 years of bragging rights and all you can say is Jens law. Not much of an accomplishment for ten years. And Hamzy doesn't call for anything unless the house republicans agree or write the press release. So much for a "nice guy". I agree he is a nice guy and your such a critic answer what Hamzy did before being elected ? You are grasping at straws. And as far as name calling you guys should talk. You started it . All we are doing is giving you fakes a taste of your own medicine. Doesn't it stink ?

Still nothing on Denski? There are many others, just waiting for one thing from you. I think Jen's law might be important to people in domestic abuse cases. Come on give me one thing Denski has accomplished, there has to be something?? Or maybe not....

I bet you think the anwser to the current budget shortfall is to raise taxes and spend more money. Take a look around you and realize we are a state that is going to be hugely affected by this financial crisis. The cash cow of Fairfield county is the epicenter of this current disaster. Raising taxes is not the anwser this time, but I am sure that is what you would like to do. That is what Herbert Hoover did back in the 1920s and we ended up in a huge depression, ever heard of it?

What is Jacqi's anwser to the current budget crisis? I bet the defict reaches a billion dollars by the end of the year. Super Scary!!!!

What's wrong can't answer? And can't take someone picking on one of yours? It's ok for you right ? You can't answer that's clear. So why should I answer your questions and you don't answer mine? Dish it out but learn how to take it. And still waiting for Hamzy's prior to being elected. We know what he did in 10 years.

8:51 There you go again lying ! The waterwheel Grant was found in a cabinet left there by Jan Krampitz the republican mayor. Can't you guys ever tell the truth ? Oh and Hamzy didn't get that money for them. Nice try !

What should Steve do if the Press closes?

With two polls completed now, we know that I should try to get a job as an ambassador and that most Bristol residents will get their news from the bar gossip at the American Legion hall if the Press closes.
